I am looking at the Clone King 25. It runs about $80 with shipping. Anyone use it? I have struggled with my clones and was hoping for an easier solution.

I have two of the Clone King 36's. They are currently listed on Amazon for $69.96 plus $15.99 shipping and handling. Strain dependent, I typically get 100% success rate or very close to it.
Last summer, with the extreme heat wave here, I added an air stone. Prior to I was having issues with the water being too warm. This really accelerated root formation. It comes with an extra set of spray nozels but it never hurts to purchase more along with additional neoprene pucks.
After each cycle I take it completely apart and run it through the dish washer. Make sure you don't use the sanitize cycle. I melted the first ones top in a commercial washer, the reason for buying the second. I open up the pucks and use a stiff brush to remove any residual roots. Sometimes the roots cling to the neoprene. The directions say all you need is water, but I always dip cutting in Clonex gel.
The main thing is to change the water no longer than after the first week. If you're transplanting into soil you may only need a week in the machine. I grow hydro so I typically leave the clones in to get maximum root formation. Heavy Sativa leaning plants don't seem to clone very well but I've read that this isn't uncommon with all cloning methods. Overall I think this is a great product, at least as far as the 36 site machine goes. Hope this helps.
it's so compact. but i think that no space for roots when then become bigger.
It is not made for big plants. Just to start your clones. 2 or 3 weeks depending and they are out of the cloner.
i thought that it is for all cycle
You would need to move them to a bigger hydro unit from the cloner. The cloner is not designed to run the plants full term. Just to get them started. I am a dirt farmer myself so I take the clones and transplant them into 2 gallon pots to start.
How do you move them with no hurt roots? for me it's difficult
